Wake Forest Baby’s First Year Photos | Baby Quinlan

This sweet little babe is Quinlan, and his parents reached out to me in search of Wake Forest Baby’s first year photos. Quinlan was three months old, and they were hoping to capture him and his personality at this age. At three months, they’ve passed out of the newborn, sleepy phase, so instead it’s all about those awake shots showing personality. And Quinlan sure was full of personality! As you can see! His hair was just soooo amazing, and he gave the best facial expressions. His mom and dad brought along some cute little outfits that looked great on him. I just absolutely loved meeting them and taking Quinlan’s baby’s first year photos for them!

Youngsville Newborn Photographer | Baby Genevieve

Cutie baby girl Genevieve was 19 days old on the day of her Youngsville newborn photographer session. She was smiley and precious and perfect! Genevieve’s mama asked for jewel tones, so I themed the baby photo session around those colors. We used the heart bowl prop, which is always a favorite amongst families. I love babies in that bowl, it’s such a great symbol of the parent’s love for their new baby.

Don’t forget to reach out for your newborn photo session as early as possible. I have people book sessions as early as 3 months into their pregnancy. My calendar fills up fast, so I can’t guarantee availability if you wait until after the baby is born to reach out. I’m often fully booked by that point. So please reach out early!

Wake Forest Newborn Photo Studio | Baby Kairav

Wake Forest Newborn Photo Studio

My favorite shots of this sweet little guy, Kairav, were definitely the head in hands pose. This pose is called the “froggy” pose amongst photographers. It shows off baby boy Kairav’s gorgeous head of hair, and his beautiful face. I’d say this newborn pose is definitely my most requested one. Parents are always in awe of their babies going into this pose, but suprisingly they mostly all love it. Babies are so flexible, and were all bundled up in mama’s tummy just a week before their sessions, so these tight little poses make them feel safe and calm. There are so many great poses that I can do in my Wake Forest newborn photo studio.

I really love my job, and feel so blessed to pose these babies in all of the many adorable poses. Each session is a little different and a challenge in different ways. The shots below are just a few of my favorites of newborn baby Kairav’s photo session.

Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer | Newborn Sophie

I had so many baby girls in 2021! They were all gorgeous and sweet and cooperative – which makes for wonderful newborn photo sessions for me! Little Sophie was only seven days old when I met her for her Raleigh Durham newborn photographer session. She came into my newborn studio and made her big modeling debut and rocked it! Mom and Dad participated in some photos too, which I always encourage. They’re only this tiny once, and it goes by so quickly. A family photo is something you’ll always treasure. And someday your baby will be grown and may hang these photos in their own home! These portraits will be passed down to future generations. So I think it’s important to get in the photos and capture the moment!

Here are my favorites from Sophie’s Raleigh newborn photo session.

Wake Forest Baby’s First Year Photographer | Lakelyn 6 Month Session

Today I’m sharing adorable little Lakelyn! I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow, and I’m enjoying every minute I get to spend with her! I first met her Mommy when she was pregnant with Lakelyn. We did a gorgeous Raleigh maternity photo session. And then a newborn photo session, 3 month session, and now a 6 month session! I’m loving being her Wake Forest baby’s first year photographer.

Lakelyn was just starting to get the hang of sitting up when she came in for her portrait session. We mostly had to put her in baskets to support her. But we did manage to get a cute photo of her sitting unassisted, with her Mommy just outside the frame, ready to catch her if she toppled!

Isn’t this little half birthday hat so very cute? Lakelyn’s mama brought it along, and it matched my pink backdrop perfectly. Sweet little Lakelyn is just so perfect and sweet in her Raleigh baby’s first year photos.

Baby’s First Year Photographer | Baby Rylan

Baby’s First Year Photographer

Cute baby Rylan turned nine months old and his parents chose to celebrate it with a baby’s first-year photo session! He and his sweet curls just made my day. I love babies at this age. It seems when they hit about six months old and start sitting up, they have such a happy phase where they’re easily entertained and pleased with just about everything.

If you’re looking for a baby’s first-year photographer, please let me know! The ideal ages for these sessions are 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. I hold these sessions either indoors (during winter months) or outdoors at local parks in the Raleigh area. I have a lot of great little baskets and buckets that fit this age perfectly and look so cute with the babies.

Here are some photos I loved of handsome baby boy Rylan’s session!

Raleigh Newborn Photo Studio | Baby Callie

Raleigh Newborn Photo Studio

My Raleigh newborn photo studio has been overflowing with babies lately! So many adorable little munchkins are being born! This little sweetheart is baby Callie and she was fifteen days old for her big photo session. She was absolutely precious in all of the colors I picked out for her, and that gorgeous head of hair was so swoon-worthy. She wore an adorable little outfit for several poses and it looked so great on her! The itty bitty little baby outfits are always my favorite. I absolutely loved her macro shots, too – these are the close-up shots of her little face, eyelashes, and toes. I find these photos to be so stunning and I love capturing all the little baby details. I also really adored baby Callie in the teal color. This is a color that her Mom requested, and it looked so beautiful against her skin tone.

Here are all of my favorites from Callie’s newborn photo session!

Knightdale Baby Photographer | Baby Emma

Knightdale Baby Photographer

Gorgeous baby Emma was eleven days old for her first photo session! Her session was a Raleigh newborn mini session, which is roughly 90 minutes of photographing the baby in a few different poses and usually one prop shot. These sessions give us time for a little bit of variety, and can be customized to exactly what you want! If you’re looking for family or sibling photos, you’ll need a Full session, as these minis only give us time to focus on the baby alone. My mini sessions were so popular in 2021, and they’re a super affordable way to capture some photos of your new baby. Reach out soon for your 2022 newborn session with Knightdale baby photographer, as I usually book up a few months in advance!

Happy little Emma showed several smiles during her session, which I loved! Check out that smile and wink she gave me. Oh so cute! Emma’s parents brought in their childhood teddy bears to incorporate into a photo, and I love how special it turned out! I can just imagine her snuggling these bears throughout her childhood. So sweet! She is such a beautiful baby, and I really enjoyed working with her family! Here’s a compilation of some of my favorites from Emma’s Wake Forest Knightdale baby photographer session!

If you’re in need of newborn portraits or a maternity photo session, please contact Wake Forest Knightdale baby photographer, Melissa DeVoe! She would love to welcome you into her newborn photo studio in Wake Forest, or out at a beautiful local park for maternity portraits!

Raleigh Newborn Photography | Baby Kaius

Raleigh Newborn Photography

This next little guy is the very adorable baby Kauis, who had his Raleigh newborn photography session done when he was 17 days young! Kaius was an absolute angel for his session. Super sleepy, and posed so perfectly for me! The very first setup I did with him was of him in the bucket, and it was my favorite of the session. He was sound asleep when he arrived and it worked perfectly. He looked so good in the blues and creams that I put him in… I mean, I’m just dying over this cuteness! He was perfect – from that glorious head of hair to his perfect teeny little toes. This session was probably one of my favorites of all of 2021. He was so amazing!

And because I’ve had a lot of questions lately about COVID precautions, I’d love to fill you in on what I do in my studio to keep babies and their families safe from COVID. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted and take the health of my tiny clients seriously. In between each session, my studio gets fully sanitized. My props are disinfected, my camera and work area are cleaned, as is the seating area where parents hang out during sessions. The first thing I do before touching a baby is to sanitize my hands, and I do it frequently throughout each session. I also wear a mask to protect my tiny clients from germs. If you have further questions about COVID safety, please feel free to reach out!

Here’s a peek at baby Kauis’ newborn portrait session!

Wake Forest Baby Photo Studio | Baby Oliver

Wake Forest Baby Photo Studio

I got to meet handsome little Oliver in my Wake Forest baby photo studio back in October. He came in for his newborn mini session when he was just eight days old. He was a precious little peanut! His mom and dad came loaded with prop ideas for things they were passionate about. We did a cute little Harry Potter setup for Oliver. And we also worked in a baseball and some little baseball bats with baby Oliver as well. There was a lot of cuteness happening! 🙂 Baby Oliver gave a lot of precious smiles too! They just kept coming, and I captured so many for his mom and dad. He was just the perfect little model! Check out my favorites from Oliver’s Raleigh newborn photo session!
